One runner runs around a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before handing the ribbon to the next runner and sending them on their way. There are various ways of practising with the ribbon:
Single run:
- Clamp the ribbon between the knees
- Clamp the ribbon between the feet and move around hopping
- Carry the ribbon on your chest without holding on to it with your hands
With a partner:
- One participant in the push-up position places their feet on the ribbon, which their partner is holding (garette) and moves away with their hands. The participant who kept their feet in the air with the ribbon becomes the next runner (push-up position) at the handover
- Tuck the ribbon back to back
Replacements: Run around the waiting group back to the next runner for the game ribbon handover - pass the game ribbon forwards between the legs - pass the game ribbon forwards over the heads
